appareled in celestial light (the horsemouth has landed)

so after a wander as far as the abbey horsemouth settled down in the evening to watch the eagle has landed (1976), a bad nazi-sploitation film - here is michael caine as the good german officer, donald pleasance as super-villain himmler, robert duval as a.n.other good german officer, donald sutherland as the irish rebel helping them out, jenny agutter as the english rose. there is all the right kit - a DC3, a motor torpedo boat, a stork spotter plane (a fieseler Fi 156 storch). horsemouth saw it at the castle cinema in caerphilly (probably in early 1977). he might have read the book even.

it is (of course) a  went the day well? remake. but it's not deep it's just a star vehicle. the action goes off in a picture postcard english village (complete with watermill). 

it's getting to be review of the year time. what a long strange year it has been.so who here remembers 'operation big dog?'. three prime ministers, two monarchs etc. 

horsemouth prepares for the 2022 golden glow christmas campaign.

with a return to horsemouth and howard's 18th december 2015 mix. lata mangeshkar, sproatly smith, lemmchen grundschule, canned heat, alice coltrane and more. he's just finishing off 12th december's mix -'morning final' by the blue oyster cult comes in very nicely after what sounds like a backwards mark bolan song and transitions out to the headhunter's 'you got it, you get it' (horsemouth once robbed the berimbau/ guitar part). 

today more wandering about (probably).
